What would be your gender-neutral alternative to referring to all Air Force members as "airmen"?

replace all "man" with crews :P also wo-crew (woman) too lol

Private, PFC, Lance Corporal?

We could replace Airman with something like Lancer, and then also use as it a prefix for all rank titles. That way we can have Lancer First Class, Lancer Sergeants, Lancer Lieutenants, Lancer Majors.

Doesn't much matter.... once you open Pandora's Box it will never be closed and that's just the early stage of the silliness.... the camel's nose under the tent flap, if you will. Now that the left wing politicians have control of the military, our once great fighting force will list somewhere between "The Caine Mutiny" and "Mr. Roberts", that is until the barbarians slit our collective throats.

Airmen wear blouses. Chew on that.

Private, Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Colonel, General ... no mention of "man" anywhere. Can anyone say to me why we have say "male" nurse instead of just "nurse" ... ?

Since the word MAN and woMAN both have the word Man what is wrong with Airmen and AirMan.
Being stupid does not make being totall politically perfect

Airhead...hee hee

Are you seriously considering this? One would need to change the dictionary and change every gender based word. That's ridiculous! May I remind you all that the word woman also has "man" in it. Gonna change the Bible too?
